Abstract
Sympathetic hyperactivity during sudden intracranial hypertension leads to cardiovascular instability, myocardial dysfunction, and neurogenic pulmonary edema. Because spinal anesthesia is associated with sympatholysis, we investigated the protective effects of intrathecal lidocaine in a rodent model. Halothane-anesthetized rats were given a 10-microL intrathecal injection of saline (n = 10) or lidocaine 1% (n = 6). A subdural balloon catheter was inflated for 60 s to produce intracranial hypertension. Hemodynamics were monitored, and hearts and lungs were harvested for histological examination. In Saline versus Lidocaine-Treated rats, peak mean arterial blood pressure during balloon inflation was 115 +/- 4 mm Hg versus 78 +/- 8 mm Hg (P < 0.05), mean arterial blood pressure 30 min after balloon deflation was 47 +/- 2 mm Hg versus 67 +/- 3 mm Hg (P < 0.05), and lung weight was 1.54 +/- 0.03 g versus 1.41 +/- 0.04 g (P < 0.05), respectively. Cardiac dysrhythmias and electrocardiographic changes were more frequent in the Saline-Treated group (P < 0.05). Saline-Treated rats had extensive, hemorrhagic pulmonary edema, whereas the Lidocaine-Treated rats had only patchy areas of lung abnormality. Histological changes in the myocardium...Continue Reading
